Israel nukes. Scary stuff they got

[Animal]

Father do you think they'll drop the bomb...

[Hangtime]

At no point in the recorded history of mankind have weapons been constructed to NOT be used.

Word "Comrade" has a communist sound in it (at least it has in here). If you would know me better you wouldn't use that word and my name in same sentence

It's great that there are nukes in the hands of people who blindly believe in a two thousand year old book that says the world is going to end. And I'm not just talking about Israel here..

I'd be much more concerned with nukes in the hands of people convinced there is no God.

I agree - if there is any country crazy enough to use nuclear weapons, Israel is it.  I really dont see much of a difference between Israel and the fundamentalist Islamic states right now.

Than explain me why haven`t they used them yet.

You might just need to open your eyes than.

As some of the comments to the article point, those nukes are in fact "aimed" at the US:

"Give us conventional stuff enough to win by large any war or else we nuke all the oil producers within range and you have run yer big cars on potato alcohol."

Israel pounds the syrian attack to shreads with their superior army and airforce, while spitting off 2 nukes to slap down Tehran and Baghdad. Then they eyeball Cairo and the Saudis... "you wanna be next?"

I think there is a real leap of logic here. Personally, I don't think that an attack by Syria alone would be enough to trigger a nuclear response. According to the article that sparked this discussion, Israel had a nuclear capability prior to the 1973 war. Yet they did not use them.

That's a pretty provacative statement to say that they are "aimed" at the US. Steinbach's article isn't very compelling to me, because it takes effects and assigns them cause without considering other possible reasons. There isn't anything close to proof of causation in the article. Three isolated quotes (spanning from 1956-1987 btw) and all of a sudden the US is being blackmailed. I would propose that more than blackmail, common security interests dictate our military support for Israel. If it were indeed nuclear blackmail, I believe the Israelis could have prevented us from sending as much aid as we have to their Arab Neighbors. But since regional stability is our main goal, we turn the money hose on for anyone who will claim to be our friend.
